Which of the following statements are true about energy and bonds? Check all that apply.
A. Energy is necessary for bond formation.
B. Breaking bonds does not absorb or release energy.
C. Breaking bonds takes energy.
D. When bonds are formed, energy is released.

A. Energy is necessary for bond formation.

C. Breaking bonds takes energy.

D. When bonds are formed, energy is released.

Explanation:

Energy is always required for bond formation because when a chemical reaction occurs, either molecular bonds are broken or other bonds are formed to make different molecules. Energy is released during bond formation and is an exothermic process because bond formation represents a stable configuration and the energy lost is released as heat energy that makes it more stable.

Breaking bonds takes energy and is an endothermic reaction because energy is absorbed to break bonds.

Hence, the correct answer is "A. Energy is necessary for bond formation.

C. Breaking bonds takes energy.

D. When bonds are formed, energy is released."

d.) the average kinetic energy of the gas particles is greater in container b because its particles move faster.
